Revision as of 23:39, 28 November 2020

Aspiration events are first and foremost convened to strengthen the ties and social networks of activists, organizers, and technology practitioners in the nonprofit/nongovernmental sectors.

The Dev Summit agenda is designed and facilitated using Aspiration's participatory model, in an environment where powerpoint slides are not a thing, and dialogue and collaboration drive the learning.

Our philosophy centers around getting participants into small-group discussions where they can discuss topics they are passionate about and get answers to their questions and curiosities. Sessions at Aspiration events have particular traits; we de-emphasize broadcast behaviors and fetishizing expertism, and instead focus on working sessions that are self-organized whenever possible to meet the specific needs of those present, in accessible, inclusive ways.

Please note: This is a truly dynamic agenda, and sessions are likely to move around and evolve. We thank everyone in advance for the flexibility.

Wednesday November 18

Opening Session (9.00 PT / 17.00 UTC)

Dev Summit 2020 will be called to order with a friendly and fast-paced kickoff that includes words of welcome, non-verbal participant introductions, along with overviews of the agenda, participation guidelines and meeting logistics.

Story sharing from across our community (10.05 PT / 18.05 UTC)

We'll start the program by lifting up stories and projects from across our network:

Break (11.05 PT / 19.05 UTC)

Working Sessions I (11.20 PT / 19.20 UTC)

Working sessions will invite participants to explore and share knowledge on topics identified in pre-event dialogues. Facilitators will briefly introduce the objective of each session, and participants may then elect to join the session of their choice.

Confirmed sessions are below, and we look forward to co-creating additional sessions in each Working Sessions time slot!

Closing Session (12.40 PT / 20.40 UTC)

The closing session will invite participants to weigh in on what has been most useful during the course of Day 1, and refine their goals and priorities for the agenda of Day 2.

Adjourn (13.00 PT / 21.00 UTC)

Social time (14.30 PT / 22.30 UTC)

We're still figuring out the plan, but we'll give folks options for hanging in more unstructured and hopefully non-annoying virtual spaces.
